Per Progress support:
Windows 2008/R2 has Task Scheduler 2.0 embedded. In Task Scheduler 2.0, Microsoft uses "Credentials management using new security services" as a new feature. The Task Scheduler is now programmed to decrease the priority of any jobs run from Task Scheduler to below normal values for I/O, CPU and Memory operations, so any work scheduled to run are given lower priorities than normal.
To change the priority of a task defined within the Microsoft Task Scheduler 2.0:
1. Export the task (right mouse click the task and save the task as an XML file) .
2. Edit the export XML and modify the Priority value which is defaulted to 7. Set it to 5 which is the normal value.
3. Save the edited XML file.
4. Delete the original task from Task Scheduler.
5. Import the task into Task Scheduler.

FYI I did a truncate BI over the weekend and the issue we were having has stopped.
